Bm A June was the lobster shell Bm I dug by hand G A A haven that hid me well beneath the sand Bm A The white windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry Bm The great breakers broke again as G D A I nodded off inside Chorus: G Bm A And then, when the Empress run aground D G And my eyes turned blue and green Bm A I heard a gorgeous sound D G And that's when it became a dream Bm A When the sky fell in D G When the hurricanes came for me Bm A I could finally crash again D Bm G A Bm A And that's how I became the sea I wrenched the engines off And drank them down The depths turned the iron soft As they swiftly drowned And I brought the ocean side To its rusty knees As I felt the even tide Deep in my shallow dreams Chorus When the sky fell in (When the sky fell in) (When the sky fell in) When the hurricanes came for me I could finally crash again And that's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea) That's how I became the sea (How I became the sea)[x2] (When the sky fell in) (When the hurricanes came for me) (I could finally crash again) (And that's how I became the sea) (How I became the sea) | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA Bm D F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
